Kyoto Prize

The Kyoto Prize(京都賞,Kyōto-shō) is Japan’s highest private award for global achievement. The Prize is given not only to those that are top representatives of their own respective field, but also to those that have contributed to humanity with their work. The Prize has been awarded annually since 1985 by the Inamori Foundation, founded by Kazuo Inamori. The honorary president of the Foundation is Princess Takamado.

Kyoto

Kyoto(京都市,Kyōto-shi, pronounced[kʲjoːꜜto.ɕi]; UK/kɪˈoʊtoʊ/, US/kiˈoʊ-/, or /ˈkjoʊ-/) is a city located in the central part of the island of Honshu, Japan. It has a population close to 1.5 million. Formerly the Imperial capital of Japan for more than one thousand years, it is now the capital city of Kyoto Prefecture located in the Kansai region, as well as a major part of the Kyoto-Osaka-Kobe metropolitan area. Kyoto is also known as the thousand-year capital.

Name

In Japanese, the city has been called Kyō (京), Miyako (都), or Kyō no Miyako (京の都). In the 11th century, the city was renamed Kyoto ("capital city"), after the Chinese word for capital city, jingdu (京都). After the city of Edo was renamed Tokyo (meaning "Eastern Capital") in 1868, and the seat of the Emperor was transferred there, Kyoto was known for a short time as Saikyō (西京, meaning "Western Capital").

Obsolete spellings for the city's name include Kioto and Meaco. Another term commonly used to refer to the city in the pre-modern period was Keishi (京師), meaning "metropolis" or "capital".

Inamori Foundation

The Inamori Foundation is a private foundation known for its annual announcement of the Kyoto Prize, founded by Kazuo Inamori in 1984. It reflects "the lifelong beliefs of its founder that people have no higher calling than to strive for the greater good of humankind and society and that the future of humanity can be assured only when there is a balance between scientific development and the enrichment of the human spirit." It has an endowment of 66.9 billion yen as of March 31, 2012.

Kyoto International Conference Center

The Kyoto International Conference Center(国立京都国際会館,Kokuritsu Kyōto Kokusai Kaikan), abbreviated as ICC Kyoto and previously called the Kyoto International Conference Hall, is a large conference facility located at Takaragaike, Sakyō-ku, Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. The Kyoto Protocol was signed in this hall.

The center was designed by architect Sachio Otani to an unusual hexagonal framework, resulting in few vertical walls or columns, and opened in 1966 with an addition in 1973. Today the total facility provides 156,000 m² of meeting space, and consists of the main Conference Hall with large meeting room (capacity 2,000) and a number of smaller rooms, an Annex Hall (capacity 1,500) and Event Hall, with the Grand Prince Hotel Kyoto nearby. Both Main Hall and Annex Hall are equipped with simultaneous interpreting facilities for 12 languages.

It is located north of Kyoto proper, and may be reached via the Karasuma Line subway.

Convention center

A convention center (American English; conference centre outside the USA) is a large building that is designed to hold a convention, where individuals and groups gather to promote and share common interests. Convention centers typically offer sufficient floor area to accommodate several thousand attendees. Very large venues, suitable for major trade shows, are sometimes known as exhibition centres. Convention centers typically have at least one auditorium and may also contain concert halls, lecture halls, meeting rooms, and conference rooms. Some large resort areahotels include a convention center.

The Surprising Science Behind the Word ‘Pokémon’

By now, words like “Pokémon,” “karaoke” and “anime” are established terms in modern English. But … are these words English or Japanese? As it turns out, neither! They fall into their own category entirely. “Wasei-eigo” is the Japanese art of making new words out of a combination of existing (usually English) words, and it literally means “Japanese-made English.” Making meaning is never bound by one language.

Violet Evergarden CM - [Jazzy Arrangement] Sax/Piano/Drums

Sheets: http://sheet.host/sheet/EcTO2y
I was feeling pretty bored, so I thought I'd come up with a 'jazzy' arrangement of the song used in the Violet Evergarden commercial. Though all I really did is add sax and change the rhythm into a swing style. I'm not sure if it even resembles jazz at all, but thanks for listening. Also I should mention I heavily borrowed from this arrangement and used it as a base: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmSlOisE358 Credits go to William Mong-Young Lee for the original.

Sheets in the description. So I lied about being on hiatus. Well, I actually found some time to do something quick xD So you don't have to count on something next weekend xP I'm not even sure if I'll cover something of the season after my exams end. But hey, at least I've uploaded something.
So um, KyoAni plz. How can you make something as gorgeous as this? Man this animation is so top notch. I almost cried the first time I watched it.
I was debating whether I should put the vocals or not. But eh, I felt like uploading something different. Now people can enjoy the piano part. It's a really nice accompaniment. I really love the chord progression! Hoping for a longer version of the song in the future.
Anyways, that's my time for n...
